Ukraine is seriously considering the possibility of restoring nuclear weapons. This is reported by Bild with reference to a source.

“We have the materials, we have the knowledge. If there is an order, it will only take us a few weeks to get the first bomb,” said a Ukrainian official.

And Western countries should think less about Russia’s red lines and much more about Ukraine’s red lines.

According to analyst Julian Repke, a condition for restoring the nuclear weapons Ukraine has surrendered could be a second attempt by the Russian Federation to go after Kyiv.

Yes and that exchange has been observed by the whole world. I doubt we will ever see one like it again

Anyone that gives up all of their nukes is nuts.. as demonstrated by the Ukraine case.

You might limit the amount, how many do you really need .. not thousands.. that's expensive anyway.

With this message I would not be surprised if in some underground mining complex Ukraine has centrifuges being installed already.

Well they claim they have what they need already.

Unknown if that's for a dirty bomb or a true nuclear fission weapon

I mean refinining is the hard part, Actually assembling a gun-type nuclear device is rather simple by the standards of modern technology.

They have ballistic missiles and plenty of nuclear materials. If the nuclear materials are weapons grade is doubtfull but not impossible
